Last night I took a leap of faith that I've been toying with for almost a
decade and bought a Line 6 GP-30 Wireless unit!

This is a 24-bit digital unit, but I've gotta say that the thing sounds
great and is going to change my approach entirely. It's extremely
liberating to be able to walk out into Bush St. from Gulch Alley Studios
and still hear my guitar cranking inside....feel like I'm off the leash!

A long time ago, I sat in the confines of my apartment in San Francisco on a cold, foggy summer afternoon. I was fresh off of getting laid off from a job and going on a long backpacking trip, then a cold couple of weeks in the reality of city life.

I called a few friends up and asked them if they'd be down to jump in the car and hit the mountains that night, but I got no takers.

I picked up the guitar and began to play a soothing riff, and started to sing about the longing I was feeling, so badly wanting to be back by the side of a Sierra stream or lake in the sunshine.

The Moon is full, can't lay my head tonightBeneath these city lightsLife we're living got me oh so bored, let's leave this town behindhead for the tall pines

But if you feel like waiting, if you feel like holding on...I can promise you, I'll leave you for dead and goneThe fog's creeping in from the sea, and the wind's blowing strongSomething's calling me from what's right and I'm feeling so wrong
